Why are susceptible to dental caries of deciduous teeth

Deciduous than permanent teeth susceptible to dental caries, mainly related to the following factors:

deciduous teeth between the two there is physical space, easy to impaction of food.

teeth mineralization developed low levels of acid is weak.

child's diet mostly soft foods, thick and strong, high sugar content, easy to fermentation acid production. Children and children love candy, snacks.

children sleep for a long time, the mouth at rest time is long, Dental Instruments reduce the secretion of saliva, and thus the role of poor oral self-cleaning, is conducive to bacterial growth and reproduction.

younger children, can not properly brush your teeth, the tooth surface retention of food debris and more.

"Lit", the site will be a mouth ulcer, induration, or small mucosal erosion, and sometimes feel pain and discomfort, but a short time can heal, or eat the drug can cure a clear fire.

However, if the ulcers, erosions in the mouth at the end of a fixed site, when developed to a bleeding ulcer, neck lymph nodes, when the pronunciation is Dental Instruments not clear, could be transformed into oral cancer. Therefore, found that the symptoms should go to the hospital dental examination as soon as possible, so as to avoid "do not know the truth" and misdiagnosed.

Oral cancer is not incurable, the key is early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment. To this end, the elderly must be carried out every 1-2 years once the oral examination. If you find oral leukoplakia granular, Pang-like processes, or the occurrence of ulcer or erosion, they should be vigilant and timely hospital treatment.

What are commonly used in periodontal surgery?

After 4 weeks after periodontal treatment, gingival inflammation has basically subsided. At this point if there is still a depth of 5 mm of the periodontal pocket, and still bleeding on probing, or gums and bone morphogenetic poor film gingival relationship is not normal, normally required for surgery. Its purpose is to be carried out under direct vision and thorough root planing and remove infected tissue, and can correct the shape of the gums and bone. Common surgery are the following:

(1) flap surgery: the removal of the bags and opened the inner wall mucoperiosteal flap, curettage of granulation tissue under direct vision and calculus, while the edge of pathological bone or bone to be repaired to restore the physiological shape and periodontal tissue function.

(2) film gingival surgery: is too narrow for the correction of gingival attachment, gingival recession and frenulum attachment location is not so good surgery, periodontal Dental Instruments treatment in order to consolidate and solve aesthetic problems.

(3) bone graft: bifurcation lesions in the root resorption or vertical Department, through the transplantation of autologous bone, allogeneic bone and bone substitutes in order to achieve the alveolar bone, periodontal membrane and cementum regeneration.
(4) dental implant: surgical method to implant within the bone to repair dental implant method.

How is it periodontal atrophy ?

Periodontal atrophy refers to the periodontal organ atrophy, mainly the direction of the gums back to the root, resulting in root exposure, alveolar bone loss. More common in the elderly. This may be the long-term periodontal tissues by a variety of mechanical injury, stimulation caused by the cumulative effect.

Periodontal atrophy common causes are: improper brushing or excellent toothbrush; inappropriate denture, clasp or underpinning oppression gingival; orthodontic treatment; periodontal treatment or periodontal surgery.

Small, uniform gingival recession is generally asymptomatic, without treatment. Sustainable development, such as gingival recession, should find the cause, symptomatic treatment, such as brushing habits change, modify bad prosthesis, orthodontic force adjustment Dental Instruments and so on. However, in the event of gingival recession, more difficult to regeneration, the treatment is mainly to prevent the increase, or a few front teeth for a serious decline, affecting the appearance, could surgery.

Starting from the anti-caries teeth

Teeth are very important part of our image not only represents, but also the helper of our daily diet, healthy teeth if people do not, will not only increase the burden of gastrointestinal function and health of the body has a greater impact. Therefore, the protection of dental health is an important element.

However, some young mothers that have to take off anyway, replaced by permanent teeth, so teeth health is less attention. Cambridge dental experts tell us, to protect the teeth from the teeth must start, because not protect teeth, permanent teeth often also be affected.

Children's teeth during chewing organs, but also guide future eruption of permanent teeth, deciduous or bad for the healthy development of children has a significant impact. Replaced by permanent teeth even sick, the bite can also cause uneven teeth, dental caries and so on.

So, how to protect the teeth can not have dental caries, health sturdy it?

In the eruption of deciduous teeth, when the children often like biting hard objects such as toys, then care should be more careful to avoid the biting hard objects such as sharp and mucosal damage gums. Most children in the teething gums congestion and edema, and Dental Instruments will be drooling, and sometimes appear restless sleep, fever. This regard with the eruption of the teeth to stimulate the other, with the baby's diet changes, because then they have gradually changed by the breast-fed rice porridge and other common foods, the body still can not immediately adapt. So, pay attention to the teething infant hygiene, care. If each were to be fed after eating boiled water to clean the oral mucosa and gums.

In addition, the food supplement to add emphasis should be early, step by step, from soft to hard, this can gradually adapt to the digestive system, but also timely exercise chewing function, stimulate tooth eruption. After the majority of eruption of deciduous teeth, children can gradually add to the biscuits, meat, soy and other tough and resistant to chewing hard food, to further promote the development of teeth and jaws.

How to treat dental fluorosis?

Dental fluorosis discoloration of the teeth is caused by excessive intake of fluorine, which is mainly caused by environmental factors. Dental fluorosis and dental enamel spot or macula, said teeth, is a chronic dental fluorosis in the performance. This disease is as common in drinking water with high fluorine. Fluorine content in the natural world is a small chemical substances, it has both anti-caries effect, but also pathogenic. If the lack of fluoride in water the material will reduce the ability of children's teeth against decay; if the fluoride content is too high, will deposit in the body, causing chronic fluorosis, the teeth will show dental fluorosis.

Our ancestors back in the Jin Dynasty, that is 1500 years ago, found a "home Jin and yellow teeth," it is translated into modern living in Shanxi long teeth will turn yellow, and that there is fluorosis ancient Shanxi tooth epidemic. Just because of the scientific and technical conditions, it is not clear due to high levels of fluoride in water, deposited in the enamel of the teeth caused by the color yellow.

The severity of dental fluorosis and the concentration of fluoride in water is proportional, that is, the higher the amount of fluoride in water, the condition is increasingly serious. However, high concentrations of fluoride as tetracycline, as mineralization during tooth development only Dental Instruments during the intake of the body will lead to dental fluorosis, over this period, no matter how high fluoride content in water will not cause such dental disease. That 7-year-old tooth mineralization in the completion of its previously, 6,7 the age of a person living in the areas of high fluoride drinking water, but grew up to move to the normal drinking water fluoride areas, but also also have dental fluorosis. This disease primarily affects the permanent teeth, it is easy to distinguish. Light haze of white teeth, horizontal surface or plaque, the teeth become seriously brown, some more serious dental pit and corner of the defects occur.

If the tooth surface without defects, using a simple bleaching bleaching method to deal with. Substantial defects of dental fluorosis, the composite resin restoration with etched. Defects such as tooth shape, can be porcelain veneer treatment.
